Abstract

Against the strategic backdrop of the nation's vigorous promotion of the “Digital China” initiative and the “East Data, West Computing” project, the digital economy has emerged as the core engine driving Qinghai Province's high-quality development. However, constrained by objective conditions such as geographical location, economic foundation, and educational resources, Qinghai faces severe challenges in its digital economic development process, including insufficient digital talent pool, structural imbalance, and high attrition rates. Therefore, this paper adopts a collaborative education perspective involving administration, industry, academia, and research. It delves into the theoretical logic and intrinsic mechanisms of this approach in empowering digital talent cultivation, arguing that the optimized allocation of systemic elements and deep integration of diverse stakeholders can generate a value-added effect where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Based on this, the paper proposes specific implementation pathways: establishing a precise strategy guidance system; innovating talent cultivation models that deeply integrate industrial chains with professional chains; building high-level digital industry-education integration practice bases; establishing a dual-qualified teacher workforce through mutual appointment and shared use; and fostering a full-cycle talent service ecosystem encompassing attraction, cultivation, utilization, and retention. The aim is to overcome Qinghai's digital talent shortage through deep collaboration and mechanism innovation among administration, industry, academia, and research entities, thereby providing robust talent support and intellectual assurance for the sustainable development of the regional digital economy.
